Help needed with STL files / 3D-Scan
Hey guys, i need your help.
I am trying to work with a 3d-scan. I already have the stl files cleaned up in the revo scan 5 software.
Now i am trying to import the stl into solidworks 2026 (makers license) with the goal of reorientating it.
If i import the stl without the scanto3d option activated i am not able to add a plane based on 3 points, because i can only select the hole face, not the intersection points of each polygon.
When i open the stl file with the scanto3d option activated i am able to create a new plane and new koordinate system.
My idea is saving the stl with my new koordinate system and set the output origin to the new created one, so my stl is oriented properly.
Unforunately this doesnt work. Every time i try to save it, it either doesnt save anything or it doesnt reference it to my new koordinate system. Which means it is in the same wrong orientation...
Would really appreciate i anyone has a tip how to fix this.
Thanks a lot
